Data science for the dumbs. Very informative talk from Dr Jamie Collins! Surely helpful for me. A good way to decide on the best supervised methods for data analysis in machine learning is to separate according to our goal: to explain or to predict? #ACR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/J0j6VMkoTV

Completely new one for me, Dr Taniguchi presenting on using ear ultrasound to diagnose and monitor disease activity in relapsing polychondritis. Appears useful, I suspect in clinical practice more so for diagnosis. Abstr#0169 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/PLJtkYkP3A

#ClinicalPearl. Pts have no preference btwn phone or video telemedicine. You can get calls more easily in PJs, technology of internet may be difficult for elderly, hearing impaired & rural with poor internet bandwidth so I would’ve guessed phone was preferred @RheumNow #abst0112 https://t.co/1F4HH9nXB8

Is holding MTX during breastfeeding overblown? @MotherToBaby data showed that infants get 0.4% of mom’s dose 24 hrs post-MTX dose. Skip breastfeeding 1 day post-MTX may be safe. Consider monitoring infant CBC. Studies needed to follow infants longitudinally #ACR21 @rheumnow https://t.co/ikJvkk5BjI
